People who are excited for the game have all played it.. at least on this website.

We realize exactly what this game is - that is why we are excited!

There's something difficult in TSW?

On other matters, anyone who said this wasn't too easy... L2P.

Anyone saying that TSW is hard needs to learn to play... oops, see what I did here...

You remember the  twenty page thread saying "I quit TSW it's too hard." Conversely I have not heard anyone say TSW is too easy. 

 

Like I said I was suprised that I struggled against mobs in the WvW area being a newb aside. The starter area was very easy like in most mmorpgs. Will GW2 PvE challenge vetern players at level cap? It's too early to tell.

 

 There were people over there saying that bc. I find it very hard to believe you somehow missed them. You don't remember all the threads complaining the game was simple because all you do is use one or two skills? Granted they were full of shit but they were running around.

You right there were people saying the starter area was easy ;) I don't recall many games with people quiting because it was too hard though. EvE, some other full loot sandboxes maybe.  

ok back on topic! lol

One day you'll be actually excited for something and it will be a relevation to you. Life is too short to be such a downer.

full loot sandboxes arent hard, they are unfair there is a huge difference.

 You do realize nothing you said has to do with whether the game is easy or not? Do you? Sure hope so...not sure how your reasons equate to people "voting with their hearts". How are skills a joke anyways?

For the record, I haven't played enough to make a determination one way or another. Frankly though, can't say I have ever found an mmo particularly hard except for EvE. Which may not even be true in that the case but I could not get into it so didn't really play it much.

Do people really care if it's easy? It seems to me the most important question is if iplaying is fun and engaging. Sure, people will throw up their hands and quit if it's too hard but they seem to forgive "too easy" much more readily as they progress. I am coming to think that most people playing games just want to feel good about what they are doing rather than prove their L337 skillz.

What is this fun thing that you are talking about?

So I've been watching gameplay footage of GW2 all morning. The # 1 impression I get from watching is that it looks way too easy to play. I would most likely get bored. So, I'd like to hear from people who have played it. Is it too easy?

 

 

So... you saw some videos of starter zones, of a game you have never played and deem it too easy.... 

 

I saw a movie where the airline pilot just moved some stupid stick up and down, looks pretty easy... 

 

Read the post, smart arse, he said that from watching the videos, it looked too easy to play. It's fair comment - as he says, he's never actually played the game.

Sheesh, you guys.....

I don't consider inidividuals who haven't actually played to have a credible opinion.

Try playing first, then judge.

OP admits to never having played and forms a judgment on difficulty based on nothing more than watching videos of low level areas? That is absolutely absurd.

It isn't a fair comment at all, and the entire point of this thread is to get a rise out of fans.

 I don't think the body of his post really is bad. But the topic title? Yeah...pretty much baiting there.

Actually there is a recently released video of a level 50 zone where the gameplay looks trivial.

no one has been lvl 50 in a stress test were the higher zones were available. There was a video of a dungeon by a gaming site (as in press) and no it wasnt trivial. 

Actually you're incorrect.  But so am I, it was a level 40-50 zone.

http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/08/23/guild-wars-2-bloodtide-coast-commentary

I have been playing MMO's for a very long time.  In no other MMO have I died as often as I have in GW2.  Yes the starter zones are easy, but once you get into the game there are mobs that will one shot you if you do not defend the big hit or dodge it.  Conditions become a big deal, not removing them wil be very very bad for your health.  Standing in the red ring will be a big freaking deal if your heal is not up. 

In large world events you can pick out the new GW2 players, they are the ones on the ground begging for a res because they forgot to dodge.

GW2 is also one of the most fun MMO's I have played in a while.  I am still blown away by the sheer size and scope of the game, doubly so because there is no monthly fee.   Any future MMO that wants to have a monthly fee beter bring something pretty impressive to the table, because GW2 is going to set one hell of a goal.

 Well, the thread title is all backwards, it's in the form of a statement, not a question.

People are probably responding to the thread title. :P

That was played by devs they have probably ran that dungeon hundreds of times and their characters have the best gear..so what do you expect..level cap is 80.

think he means just a general gameplay walkthrough of bloodtide coast....where they actually lose half the events they play. just some last minute hail marry attacks from the dearly departed.
